that’s pathetic!

I agree.  I always look forward to them.  I miss the team so it brought enjoyment to see spring training games and at this time through the first week of the season there is optimism we may do better than the year before.

And Eugene Levy. He is a comedy GOD! His stints in the American Pie movies were brilliant! Even the off-original cast couple of movies, "The Naked Mile" and "Beta House", he MADE those movies.

 

Another obscure movie clip. Levy is BEYOND hilarious! NOTSFW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't like it, but I understand why there is no TV.  They didn't want to put out the resources to bring a crew and equipment to Florida.   What I don't understand is why there is not 100% radio coverage.  If the talent and equipment are there, what else are they going to do?  Why not broadcast every game?

Shh, not so loud.  The Blue Jays killed their distinct radio broadcast.

Wow.  The last time I remember that type of arrangement was the Washington Diplomats NASL soccer team in the late 70s.  They had a young announcer by the name of Jon Miller doing radio play by play and it was also the commentary for the games that were televised.

Evidently it's starting to be a thing in hockey?

    • If I'm reading this correctly, the Orioles are 6th in defensive value this year and the White Sox are dead last by a lot: to date, they're at -54 runs; the worst team in baseball for all of '23 was -72 (https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/team_compare.cgi?request=1&year=2024&lg=MLB&stat=runs_fielding). So the difference between Burnes and Fedde must be the defensive adjustment. FWIW, fWAR using FIP has them even at 2.0 WAR apiece; using RA9 Burnes is ahead 2.9 to 2.4.
    • One game at a time. Let’s go O’s 👍🏻
    • You do realize our pen has given up fewer runs, fewer hits, fewer BBs, has a lower WHIP, and has more Ks?  I get that they don’t pass your eye test, but the numbers don’t back that up.  With all that said, I think they need to reinforce the pen but let’s stop with the dramatics.  
    • The OP is too pessimistic. NYY is 5-5 in their last 10, Orioles are 8-2. NYY have cooled down, as predicted. The O's are getting them at the right time. With that said, it's baseball. Anything can happen. I would be surprised if the Orioles don't take at least 2 out of 3, though.
    • Objectively speaking I would have WAY MORE confidence in Rodon than Irvin/Kremer/Suarez. And I LOVE what both Irvin and Suarez have done for us this season and couldn’t have dreamed of either giving us any more than they have.
    • Holliday is not getting traded IMO, so there’s really no point in discussing that. But there is a case to be made that the other two are a bit redundant and if we plan on doing some extensions, they could be expendable (at least one of them). Off the top of my head. I would strongly consider Miller or Crochet for one of them. I guess I look at it like this, I can see a realistic plausible scenario of us winning a championship or more without the services of Basallo or Mayo. However, I cannot see ya winning this season as is without a meaningful upgrade to the current pitching. Many said all last season, the pitching was good as is, until it (predictably) wasn’t.
    • Well for starters, there closer and set up man are both better than ours. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that the Yanks pen is better than the Phills by any stretch. But it is better than ours.
